Vote no for whatever "reasons" that you choose and be happy with the results.
T2,
Glad you spotted that. I make no bones that I am not for this TA. However, I'm looking for something other than those points that I mentioned. Every document from the MEC has been positive with a little bit of fear thrown in. However, in any contract your agent (think real estate or litigation) should point out the pros and cons so you can make an informed decision. That's what I'm missing and asking for.
You are incredibly good at demeaning others that don't agree with you. I can only hope that you don't run your cockpit especially during an OE like that. You have reached your decision by a process which I'm hoping you can rationally explain. Your comment on another thread that the pay rates are a "Homerun" was frankly absurd. We don't even equal SWA until 2015 and that's
IF they don't have a raise between now and then, and doesn't factor in their premium pay or other work rules.
FIIGMO made a really good argument and I've said I live with this contract if I must. I just don't wish at this point to help it along.
